Taking Up The Cause

the killer awake at dawn and put his shooting

clothes on, NRA approved once fees received:

a breakfast of champions he had with a little

Irish Coffee too with powder sniffed up his nose;

after kissing his wife and family goodbye,

he drove to a prearranged site to have a

prearranged meeting with himself;

the killer was taken to the morgue

where his brain was removed and stored

and his wife was billed for services rendered;

twenty years hence, we recall not the event

as much as the memory of what went down,

as many others have taken up the cause.
